Mama
Copyright Stan Loh July 30, 2012
Verse 1
D
Mama … Oh Mama …
G D
I’ll will remember the cold Decembers and the storms,
D
Mama you’re right,
G D
Nothing to fear, you held me near, you kept me warm,
E A
You were the sweetest, the purest love I ever known,
E A7
No reservation for all the love you have shown…
CHORUS
D D7 G
Oh Mama, you were the greatest, you were the dearest heaven to me,
G A7 D
You’re one woman, as sweet, as sweet can be!
Verse 2
D
Mama … Oh Mama …
G D
The times I called you, having no reason, but your voice,
D
Dropped what you’re doing …
G D
You come so quickly to comfort me and rejoice,
E A
Forgot your ground rules so many times, I should have known,
E A7
You made excuses, for I’m the seed of your own…
CHORUS
D D7 G
Oh Mama, you were the greatest, you were the dearest heaven to me,
G A7 D
You’re one woman, as sweet, as sweet can be!
BRIDGE
Bb
I picked you pretty flowers,
D
But not nearly enough,
Bb
Yet you treasured every petal,
D
Like the colours of the seeds of love.
Instrumental: G D/ G D/
Verse 3
D
Truly sweet…
G D
I still remember, your many kisses, when I cried,
D
What did I learn?
G D
Fortune and money, are just the funny, things to burn,
E A
But precious words, from the heart, can mean so much,
E A7
And mother’s love, just can’t be bought by things and such…
CHORUS
D D7 G
Mama, you were the greatest, you were the dearest heaven to me,
G A7 D
You’re one woman, as sweet, as sweet can be!
